It's made by the guy who made the BloodLust games. Looks exactly like those. Neither BloodLust 1 or 2 were particularly good games, but the ideas were neat.

I'll second that, played the first one (I think) just for awhile, but the dude legit has fresh ideas.

Looks like a janky, tasteless, Soul Reaver.

"Vampirem Claws It Is Way to Early Access"?

Played the first Bloodlust for a few hours and while the dude had some good intentions and ideas I couldn't stand the uninspired generic and boring dungeon.

Hmmm... started with point n click, did a shooter, and now 3rd arpg. All are vamp themed. That's cool.

Wow, we have some serious vampire fetish here :D

I bought bloodlust 1 & 2 on codex recommendation, haven't played yet. Might have forgotten if not for this thread.

Guess I'll post reviews of them as the games seem fairly unknown.

It only means he is probably masturbating to his own creations.

Angry Roleplayer · Mar 25, 2021

After lurking for years finally decided to register to actually support the creator of the game.
It's a very solid game so far. If you played Bloodlust: Nemesis, It's pretty much close to it, but also very far from it. Bloodlust was quite a damn complex game with tonn of stuff, different vampire fractions and stuff. Also had different skills and levels and a lot of gear. Had crazy grind in there.
This is more of an action indeed, with little RPG elements. It has been simplified, but it looks way better and plays smoother. But it's early access, so i am pretty sure more content will follow. But the most important thing: GAMEPLAY. It's just fun to play.
You know what's the problem with the majority of games on the market? They may have insane graphics, but they are just not fun to play. You get bored within an hour or less.
In this game however you don't. I am 8 hours in, beat 3 bosses and looking forward to what i will see next. Puzzles are getting harder, mobs are becoming stronger. Third boss was quite a damn challenge too.
Really cool game so far.

Well the guy seems passionate enough, kudos for that. I recall reading good things in the bloodlust thread.

Curious about that "Last Half of Darkness" title though, since there was a series of graphical text adventures in the DOS years with that name and IIRC the guy who made them has even released a new game somewhat recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Half_of_Darkness

Last Half of Darkness, now that's a blast from the past. I remember playing the first and second game in the mid 90s. Little horror adventure games with jump scares and death sequences.

I didn't realise this was the same dev.

KeighnMcDeath · Mar 25, 2021

Could be.... the original 3 and the windows remake are in the abandonware but the next ones I managed to see are here.

The first of the new trilogy there had demo games like: https://lostmediawiki.com/GhostBlood_(lost_PC_fantasy_role-playing_game;_2003)

Thanks to everyone who took a look... It's just a little game made by one guy so no Dark Souls budget here but I'm happy with the way it turned out... and had fun making it... some might need a bit more and that's fair.

Played both bloodlust two completion. I thought the first one was pretty cool, but the second one felt very rushed, especially towards the end, with a lot of streamlining and very little content. Hopefully this isnt a trend.

Game description from Steam:

"Another story of Bloodlust, this time told through the eyes of Ravenblood; part Ghost... part Vampire... and 100% bada$$. His journey in search of lost strength and revenge will take you through the dark tombs and dungeons of the Vampirem."

Game looks shit btw

Tao · Mar 25, 2021

The game is not for everyone that's for sure. i tried bloodlust 1 and 2 a few times because there is not a single vampire theme game outside of the same old titles, but i never was able to go very far.

Anyways kudos to the dev guy, his games are janky as fuck but they had that passion that seems to be lost nowdays.
